Hernandez missed a big chance to pass to Pukki (1:20 in the highlights). Looks like he had his mind made up that he was going to take the shot no matter what.
He's been doing that a lot the last few games. Has been frustrating. He seems to want to do it all himself when he gets into good positions. There were a few against Reading that all he had to do was pass it in the box, but kept running into a group of defenders until they smothered him. Just needs a little bit more sharpness mentally, hopefully that comes with more experience.
It needs to happen if we go up. If he (coaching staff) can fix that part of his game, he can make it in the PL, IMHO.
Just seen this - https://www.pinkun.com/norwich-city/handball-laws-norwich-city-penalty-at-wigan-1-5997781 As DF said post-match, the referee was very quick in pointing to the penalty spot. That's 3 games in a row we've been treated unfairly by officials - Bendy's red card, No penalty against Reading And now this!!
He scored the winner with a shot like that 3 or 4 games ago - and now seems to assume any time he lines one up it will be another net-buster. Wrong! Hope not to see a Snodgrass-like selfishness creep into his game. The signs are there that it's happening already
How Godfrey was judged to have known where the ball would go after it hit his thigh is unbelievable. The act has to be deliberate, the hand moving to the ball rather than the ball moving to the hand. Ridiculous decision.
The ref was in a bad position to make the call and probably didn't see it deflect off of Ben's thigh. Still, wrong call and it went against us - again.
Tim Krul settling in as NCFC #1. I feared he might be this season's Whittaker / Rusty boo-boy fodder early on but no denying whilst Pukki and Co have won us points, so Tim Krul has saved us points this season. I wonder how important this moment (and the point it saved) will be next month...
Even if the ref didn't see the deflection it was 5 yards out smashed at him as he slid in, his arm wasn't out it hit his forearm as it cannoned off his leg.... oh well you win some you lose some, 2 more wins!
